I took several meds during my last pregnancy. I got pregnant shortly after a psychotic break and was told that taking no meds during pregnancy was not an option. I went to a pdoc who was renowned for her work with women during pregnancy and post partum. I was so severely unwell during my pregnancy that I started Lithium (Litium is class D because it can cause heart problems in the infant...we started late 2nd trimester when the heart was fully developed). I also took Lamictal and Abilify (both class c, I think) during the entirety of my pregnancy. There were no issues with my baby related (or unrelated) to the medicine. I was not able to nurse though. I nursed my first two babies past 1 year so that was heartbreaking but it was the best I could do with what I had.
